Why would you believe what a "fake news" site operator tells you?
- deadmetheny 9y agoSmug "I am too smart to be fooled" liberalism, I'd guess, based on the fact this legitimate point is currently being downvoted.
- kelukelugames 9y agoI don't. It matches anecdotes at best. That's why I want to verify it.
- powertower 9y agoThat makes sense. Ironically though, just as another anecdote (and to the best of my knowledge), the very first "fake news" right-wing site who's operator was confronted, ended up being a left-voting liberal who [paraphrasing] "hated conservatives and people on the right, and wanted to spread disinformation to them to pollute their arguments". But I guess we'll never know, so the best solution is still non-censorship.
- kadenshep 9y agoIt's being down voted because it's an accusatory, non-answer to a speculative statement. The parent comment literally stated "I want to verify this." It's not a legitimate point in any sense of the word legitimate. I'd have myself a hard think about what lead you to writing such a comment up.
